The most common mistake at the start
At insurers the three core strands of new business, policy changes and claims usually sit in different systems and often in different departments. The map shows them side by side, and that makes visible how often the same customer runs through several strands without those strands knowing about each other. It is exactly at these transitions that the queries arise which customers experience as bureaucracy.
Why planned processes belong on the map
Most processes on this map carry only a name and a description. That is deliberate. A map where everything looks finished is either polished up or the result of two years of work. Start with the processes causing trouble today and leave the rest as placeholders until somebody needs them.
